A Possession and Paraphanelia Question...

[liljosh63]

Ok heres the deal...I talked to my counselor from the DA's office yesterday. She wants to meet with me next week and go over options...heres my deal; She will probably offer me an extension on my program and let me do my classes and start going on colors again. I really dont want to do this...

I have already had my license suspended for one year (the maximum sentence for DUI when you do not breathe, from my knowledge), and the only charges im left facing are the posession and paraphenelia.

Should i go for this program(which will cost $750 more) or should i just face these two charges in N.O. and pay the fines or do the community service?

I dont want to deny the program just because i like to smoke if only to get prosecuted and then have to have probation and drug test anyway...

dont go with the public defender... their interests are with the state, not you

you may pay a little more for a good lawyer, but it will be worth it

if they get you the disorderly conduct bargain then you wont have any kind of probation / tests / etc

Hire a lawyer man. Too many times have I seen people get harsher penalties than they would have if they had simply understood what was going on.

Realistic advice..he needs to take it. :thumbsup:

yep... i have seen guys get busted while moving so they had a bag + thier whole pipe collection and had it reduced to disorderly conduct.. any good lawyer will laugh these charges off

I've seen people go to prison for less than that. How bout a empty baggie with a little remaining stuff and a forged script for pills, first arrest. 2.5 years at 85%.
